Satellites

The moons Etta and Betta house most of the heavy industry of Nakris. The outer moon, Betta, is the location of the Nakris Betta Starport, which handles most of the interstellar traffic and starship construction for the system.

History & Background (Dossier)

Nakris was colonised in 433 by Imperials and Corellans with the intent of creating a civilization that lessened the influence of both the Great Houses and the Storm Knights. The previously settled world of Heby joined with Nakris in 530 to form the nascent Nakris Confederation.

By the early ninth century, economic difficulties on Nakris had eroded democratic traditions and put in place the dictatorship of the Permanent Chair and the Grand Council, which in turn took control of the Grand Senate of the Confederation.

World Starport

Nakris has a Class A Starport, an excellent quality installation which includes all the expected amenities including refined fuel for starships, brokerage services for passengers and cargo, and a variety of ship provisions. There is a shipyard capable of doing annual maintenance, overhauls and other kinds of repair, and construction of both starships and non-starships. Most ports of this classification have both a Highport and a Downport.

Urbanization

Urban life is concentrated in dense cities dominated by tower complexes. These are essentially small arcologies housing 10-20,000 residents each.

Trade

The Gateway Consortium, a major commercial power within the Corellan League, maintains its own diplomatic staff and consular office on Nakris.
